I can't recall how many times I must have passed this advice on: BEFORE you start to write, read Dorothea Brande's excellent work, 'Becoming a Writer'. And then, ensure you have a good working knowledge of language, grammar and syntax. No sensible person would employ an electrician who had no real knowledge of his craft; why should readers be subject to poor writing from those who can't be bothered to acquire the tools of their trade?

Hi, Stuart. I merely shared an observation that I have come to believe. All writers, IMO, have introduced or will share a memory of their life somewhere, in the expansion of time, now. Perhaps your POV is different than mine? That's great. Thanks for your special abilities to process a good story.
